Cultivation
Although the dormant plant is quite hardy in Britain, the young growth in spring can be damaged by late frosts. A fast-growing self-clinging climbing plant[6], attaching itself by means of aerial roots[10], and growing up walls or tree trunks on any aspect. The plants may need initial support, however[10]. Plants are growing well on a wall at Kew[12]. Grows well on north walls but prefers a sunnier position[6]. Closely related to H. petiolaris[12]. H. petiolaris is normally treated as no more than a sub-species of this species[10].
This species is notably susceptible to honey fungus[10].Crops
